Antique Huge Italian Olive Oil Jar or Amphora Great Color Italian Late 1800's
Located in Chicago, IL
Not all antique Italian glazed Olive Oil Jars or Vases are created equal and this particular Olive Oil jar’s colors are simply beyond spectacular. Dating from the late 1800’s and discovered in a field in the south of Italy by an old friend. Most people refer to these as amphora jars, beginning in the Neolithic Period and running from approximately 9000BC to 3500BC. Generally, Amphorae were used in large numbers to transport Olive Oil and Wine. The design trade and most antique dealers simply call these vessels or Olive Oil Jars. For us, we look at the Olive Oil Jars as pieces of sculpture and they are as good looking outdoors as they are in your home. The color palette and the sheen of the glaze they are simply magical and create a truly great focal point. When we started in the antique business...

Antique French Buffet from St-Malo, Malouin 'Brittany' Region, Disassembles
Located in Chicago, IL
Exquisite antique French Buffet from the St-Malo, Malouin region of France and what makes this French Buffet so special and so unusual, besides the obvious, it’s incredible visual impact, is that whomever originally built this French Buffet, designed it so that it completely disassembles, allowing it to maneuver 90-degree tight hallway turns, or fit into those petite elevators. We have seen this type of construction on 20th Buffets, but never on a real Antique...

Antique Carved Solid Block of Marble Wash Basin, Sink From Mediterranean Region
Located in Chicago, IL
Although this may look like a holy water font from an ancient Italian church, we believe it’s probably a marble wash basin, or sink based on the fact that it has an old drain hole. You can clearly see that the marble sink was mounted into a wall and it could be Roman, Turkish or even Middle Eastern. Sinks or wash basins are thought to have started in Ancient Roman bathhouses. Romans actually had warm water in bowls around the bathhouse in order to wash one’s face and hands. During the 1500’s, the wealthy would have wood washstands...
